Fractal Description Of Soil Fragmentation For Various Tillage Methods And Crop Sequences, Bahman Eghball, Lloyd N. Mielke, Guillermo A. Calvo, Wallace Wilhelm
United States Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service / University of Nebraska-Lincoln: Faculty Publications
Soil structure has been difficult to quantify and, at best, has been studied semiquantitatively. Fractal representation of soil fragmentation can provide an indication of soil structure. The purpose of our study was to use fractal analysis to quantify soil fragmentation under various tillage and crop sequence treatments at different times during the growing season. We collected soil samples from four tillage treatments (established 10 yr earlier) of chisel, disk, no-till, and moldboard plow in factorial arrangement with two crop sequences of corn (Zea mays L.)-soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.]-corn (C-SC), and soybean- cornaoybean, (S-C-S) on a Sharpsburg (fine, …

Above-Ground Vegetative Development And Growth Of Winter Wheat As Influenced By Nitrogen And Water Availability, Wallace Wilhelm, Gregory S. Mcmaster, R. W. Rickman, Betty Klepper
United States Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service / University of Nebraska-Lincoln: Faculty Publications
Assessing the influence of nitrogen and water availability on development and growth of individual organs of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is critical in evaluating the response of wheat to environmental conditions. We constructed a simulation model (SHOOTGRO 2.0) of shoot vegetative development and growth from planting to early boot by adding nitrogen and water balances and response functions for seedling emergence, tiller and leaf appearance, leaf and internode growth, and leaf and tiller senescence to the existing wheat development and growth model, SHOOTGRO 1.0. Model inputs include daily maximum and minimum air temperature, rainfall, daily photosynthetically active radiation, …

Residual Effects Of No-Till Crop Residues On Corn Yield And Nitrogen Uptake, M. S. Maskina, James F. Power, John W. Doran, Wallace Wilhelm
United States Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service / University of Nebraska-Lincoln: Faculty Publications
The residual effects of crop residues on N availability and crop growth are largely unknown. A field experiment was conducted from 1986 through 1988 at Lincoln, NE, to determine the residual effects on no-till corn (Zea mays L.) production and N uptake of 0,50, 100, and 1509'0 of the amount of crop residues produced by the previous crop during the previous 5 yr. These effects were evaluated with and without tillage (disking), N fertilizer (60 kg N ha-1), and hairy vetch (Vicia villosa Roth ssp. villosa, 'Madison') winter cover crop. Increasing the previous crop residue …

An Improved Measure Of Angular Dispersion In Plant Neighborhoods, Klaus J. Puettmann, Dan Rhode, Bruce D. Maxwell, John L. Lindquist
An Improved Measure Of Angular Dispersion In Plant Neighborhoods, Klaus J. Puettmann, Dan Rhode, Bruce D. Maxwell, John L. Lindquist
Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications
Spatial distribution is an important factor determining the intensity and outcome of plant competition. The commonly used measure of angular distributions of plants around a target plant (1 - r) is shown to be limited to unimodal distributions. We present a new index which is based on the variance of the differences between the azimuth of neighboring plants. The new index is an improvement as it characterizes the angular dispersion in both unimodal and multimodal distributions.
Effect Of Topping Time On Dark Tobacco Yield, Bill Maksymowicz
Effect Of Topping Time On Dark Tobacco Yield, Bill Maksymowicz
Agronomy Notes
When the terminal bud is removed from tobacco by topping, a number of changes are triggered in the plant: increased root growth, nicotine synthesis, improved drought tolerance, and leaf expansion and increased thickness. These changes are affected by topping time; generally there will be less crop response to topping as topping is delayed. The most important changes, from a producer's perspective, are continued leaf expansion and thickening, with a commensurate improvement in quality and increase in yield. Topping at the proper time of plant development is often difficult on a field scale since uneven crop growth, particularly when tobacco is …
Analysis Of Black Point In Wheat, J M. Wilson
Analysis Of Black Point In Wheat, J M. Wilson
Technical Bulletins
Fungal staining (black point) of wheat can reduce the quality of grain. The most serious problem is a discolouration of products. Discolouration is a consequence of infection by microorganisms. The most likely cause in Western Australia is a species of the common fungus Alternaria. Infection and discolouration occur between flowering and grain maturity, and the optimum environmental conditions are probably consecutive days of high relative humidity together with warm temperatures.

Rhizosphere bacteria were isolated from root tip segments of cucumber seedlings grown in a suppressive, slightly decomposed light-colored peat mix, a conducive, more decomposed dark-colored peat mix, and a suppressive dark peat mix amended with composted hardwood bark. The bacteria were identified by a gas chromatographic fatty acid methyl ester analysis. The total number of taxa recovered from a single root tip segment ranged from 9 to 18. No single taxon predominated on all root tip segments harvested from any of the mixes. The highest relative population density reached by a given taxon on any root tip segment was 45%. …

Sources Of Variation In The Spectrophotomteric Assay Of Hydrocyanic Potential In Sorghum Seedlings, R. D. Lee, B. E. Johnson, J. F. Pedersen, Francis A. Haskins, Herman J. Gorz
Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications
Spectrophotometry is a useful assay for hydrocyanic acid potential (HCN-p) in sorghum and sudangrass [both Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] seedlings, but no systematic study of sources of variation in the procedure has been reported. Selfed seed was harvested from each of 12 ramets (two each from two sister plants from three low-HCN-p sudangrass parents), and seedlings for sampling were grown ina growth chamber, in two rows from each ramet, Seven-day-old seedlings were harvested and divided into two samples per row for extraction; two aliquots per extract were assayed spectrophotometrically for HCN-p. The experiment was replicated three times. The three parents …

Sucker Control Performance In Dark Tobacco, Bill Maksymowicz
Sucker Control Performance In Dark Tobacco, Bill Maksymowicz
Agronomy Notes
Poor sucker control adversely affects tobacco yield and quality. Suckers serve as a "sink" for nutrients and dry matter that otherwise would go to the expanding leaves intended for harvest, resulting in lower yields. Hand removal of large suckers can cause leaf damage, and failure to remove suckers may result in spoilage during the curing process, resulting in lowered quality. Use of chemical sucker control measures used in burley production can produce lower yields or W1desirable cured leaf color of dark tobacco. These studies were conducted to compare the effects of recommended sucker control practices for dark tobacco with systems …

INTSORMIL Impacts and Bulletins
Sustainable production of food and forage with a focus on plant adaptation to stress environments will be a continued priority for developing countries in the future. Since many areas of the world which support substantial human populations are drought prone, such as the subsaharan African zone and others, the primary focus has been on drought. However, one of the greatest restraints to sustainability of agriculture worldwide is the lack of sufficient soil nutrients for crop growth, or other soil constraints such as acidity or salinity which hinder crop production substantially.

Byenup Hill Catchment Report : Carlecatup Catchment Land Conservation District, Justin Hardy
Byenup Hill Catchment Report : Carlecatup Catchment Land Conservation District, Justin Hardy
Agriculture reports
The Byenup Hill Catchment is situated just west of Graham's Well which was a major watering point for early travellers. The area was first settled around 1890 and some of the names associated with early settlement are Hinchey, Dennis, Bilney, Holding and Gabette. Clearing with axes was a slow process and most of the sheep were run in the bush in areas free from poison bush. A reasonable number of trees were left standing and the last clearing was done in the 1980's. The first signs of salt appeared in the 1930's and advanced with increased clearing.

Leptospira Genomes Are Modified At 5'-Gtac, David Ralph, Quideng Que, James L. Van Etten, Michael Mcclelland
Department of Plant Pathology: Faculty Publications
Genomic DNAs of 14 strains from seven species of the spirochete Leptospira were resistant to cleavage by the restriction endonuclease RsaI 1 (5'-GTAC). A modified base comigrating with m4C was detected by chromatography. Genomic DNAs from other spirochetes, Borrelia group VS461, and Serpulina strains were not resistant to h a 1 digestion. Modification at 5'-GTAm4C may occur in most or all strains of all species of Leptospira but not in all genera of spirochetes. Genus-wide DNA modification has rarely been observed in bacteria.

The Polymerase Chain Reaction And Plant Disease Diagnosis, Joan M. Henson, Roy C. French
Department of Plant Pathology: Faculty Publications
The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) provides a simple, ingenious method to exponentially amplify specific DNA sequences by in vitro DNA synthesis. Three essential steps to PCR (Figure 1) include (a) melting of the target (b) annealing of two oligonucleotide primers to the denatured DNA strands, and (c) primer extension by a thermostable DNA polymerase (123). Newly synthesized DNA strands serve as targets for subsequent DNA synthesis as the three steps are repeated up to 50 times. The specificity of the method derives from the synthetic oligonucleotide primers, which base-pair to and define each end of the target sequence to be …

The research reports in this publication represent one year of results; therefore, these results should not be used as a basis for longterm recommendations. Several research reports in this publication dealing with soil fertility also appear in Arkansas Soil Fertility Studies 1992, Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Series 425. This duplication is the result of the overlap in research coverage between the two series and our effort to inform Arkansas rice producers of all the research being conducted with funds from the rice check-off.

Flora Of The Quindalup Dunes Between Swan And Irwin Rivers, Western Australia, E A. Griffin
Research Reports
A study designed to determine the variation in the composition of the vegetation on the coastal Holocenes and deposits between Perth and Geraldton is described. The study was based on 545 sites at which descriptions of the geology, landform, soil and vegetation and a complete list of flora were made.The floristic composition of these sites varied considerably. Numerical classification showed some quite distinct communities and others which seemed part of a multi-dimensional continuum. Several factors appeared to be instrumental in the variation in composition. Landforms (incipient fore dunes, dunes or plains) were a major factor. So too were proximity to …

Treatment Of Pea (Pisum Sativum L.) Protoplasts With Dna-Damaging Agents Induces A 39-Kilodalton Chloroplast Protein Immunologically Related To Escherichia Coli Reca, Heriberto D. Cerutti, H. Z. Ibrahim, A. T. Jagendorf
Treatment Of Pea (Pisum Sativum L.) Protoplasts With Dna-Damaging Agents Induces A 39-Kilodalton Chloroplast Protein Immunologically Related To Escherichia Coli Reca, Heriberto D. Cerutti, H. Z. Ibrahim, A. T. Jagendorf
Center for Plant Science Innovation: Faculty and Staff Publications
Organisms must have efficient mechanisms of DNA repair and recombination to prevent alterations in their genetic information due to DNA damage. There is evidence for DNA repair and recombination in plastids of higher plants, although very little is known at the biochemical level. Many chloroplast proteins are of eubacterial ancestry, suggesting that the same could be true for the components of a DNA repair and recombination system. A 39-kD protein, immunologically related to Escherichia coli RecA, is present in chloroplasts of pea (Pisum sativum L.). Bandshift gel assays suggest that it binds single-stranded DNA. Its steady-state level is increased …

Dna Strand-Transfer Activity In Pea (Pisum Sativum L.) Chloroplasts, Heriberto D. Cerutti, A. T. Jagendorf
Center for Plant Science Innovation: Faculty and Staff Publications
The occurrence of DNA recombination in plastids of higher plants is well documented. However, little is known at the enzymic level. To begin dissecting the biochemical mechanism(s) involved we focused on a key step: strand transfer between homologous parental DNAs. We detected a RecA-like strand transfer activity in stromal extracts from pea (Pisum sativum L.) chloroplasts. Formation of joint molecules requires Mg2+, ATP, and homologous substrates. This activity is inhibited by excess single-stranded DNA (ssDNA), suggesting a necessary stoichiometric relation between enzyme and ssDNA. In a novel assay with Triton X-100-permeabilized chloroplasts, we also detected strand invasion of the …

Four spontaneously derived serologically distinct classes of mutants of the Paramecium bursaria chlorella virus (PBCV-1) were isolated using polydonal antiserum prepared against either intact PBCV-1 or PBCV-1-derived serotypes. The oligosaccharide(s) of the viral major capsid protein and two minor glycoproteins determined virus serological specificity. Normally, viral glycoproteins arise from host-specific glycosylation of viral proteins; the glycan portion can be altered only by growing the virus on another host or by mutations in glycosylation sites of the viral protein. Neither mechanism explains the changes in the glycan(s) of the PBCV-1 major capsid protein because all of the viruses were grown in …

Dartmouth Scholarship
Analysis of the ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) activase gene and gene products from Arabidopsis thaliana wild-type plants and the Rubisco activase-deficient mutant strain showed that the rca mutation caused GT to be changed to AT at the 5[prime]-splice junction of intron 3 in the six-intron pre-mRNA. Northern blot analysis, genomic and cDNA sequencing, and primer extension analysis indicated that the mutation causes inefficient and incomplete splicing of the pre-mRNA, resulting in the accumulation of three aberrant mRNAs. One mutant mRNA was identical with wild-type mRNA except that it included intron 3, a second mRNA comprised intron 3 and exons 4 through …
